It has been another stressful week. We have been shuttling between home and hospital as my mother-in-law remains in critical condition. Today was worst when we were told that she is slipping. We rush to the hospital and as we look at her, I found it extremely painful. She is clearly suffering and I feel terribly bad for her. How I wish I can do or say something to lessen her pain...but I was there only to support the people who came through her. I do not know how long she'll last but I would like to look back and remember the days when we had her at her best. I can never forget how she used to cook my favorite dish and serve us as we eat. A typical Iyengar Brahmin mammi, she would not eat until everyone has eaten and been served. She has been very thoughtful that she never fails to remember me whenever there is an occasion that I celebrate being of different faith from them. I would want to look back and remember her as who she was rather than what she is now.
